Emperor's new clothes

But, but, but......I've got a laptop for that?!

My laptop dropped on the floor (I had it on my exercise bike), and the screen smashed so I had to either get a new laptop or the IPad.

I have an Ipad and I really like it as a portable web/email device. The thing that does it for me is its battery life, it lasts days on end. Its just easy to grab it and start surfing, in the bog, in bed etc

Why would you want internet access "in the bog"?

Actually, please don't answer that one. That's all I'm going to think about next time someone offers me a go on their iPad. Put into same category as free peanuts on the bar.

I don't get the iPad either, maybe I'm a luddite, but I don't feel the need for one. I certainly wouldn't spend £500 on one, I don't think I'd be happy spending >£100 on one either. I don't much like typing on a touch screen either.

I've got a big laptop for my main computing needs and a netbook for when I'm travelling, Slingbox, browsing etc, I suppose if I really felt the need to surf the net while on the bog then the netbook would do the job.

I've got an Android phone and that's fine for what it is, but do I want a bigger one that doesn't do a great deal more or I can't do on my netbook? Nah.

I like to read on the bog, and I don't think I am the only one on the planet. In fact

Yeah, fair enough, I can see your point then.

Ipad 2 will be a must have

What happened there? A minute ago, you posted something about 'I can't afford an IPAD', editing someone else's post. That's disappeared. How did you manage that?

I posted a unfunny joke, but decided to change it.

Does the wife/partner have their own? I'm not too sure mine would be keen to share if I took it into the bog with me.

Why? I don't wipe my arse with it, unless I have somehow managed to open the Daily Mail website. Wife has a Mac, she tends not to use the Ipad much, not sure why??
